MT4 was specifically built for forex traders
MT5 was designed to provide traders with access to CFDs, stocks and futures.

I started trading with MT5 on fxview but later switched to MT4 with the same broker because most of the EAs that I was purchasing were compatible with MT4. Next account that I opened with IC Markets, I opted for MT4 in the first place :) Honestly I didn’t see any difference as such in the 2, but maybe I need to be on level 3 or 4 to be able to spot any minor intricacies.

MT4 is easy to use
It is free
And there is ton of programs and indicators and lot of them free
It is very bad with backtesting though.
So except proper backtesting there is no need for MT5

Both the platforms are good but I am more comfortable using MT4 as their app is also very convenient to use. I place my orders most of the time from my smartphone. It is very easy to manage my two different accounts on Turnkeyforex and LMFX at one place.

I always use MT4 it is simple and does everything i need no point fixing something that it's broken
My experience with mt4 is that it is more accessible and easy to use, with much more comfortable tools than Mt5. Although I am thinking of trying my hands on it too.
